Lauren and John had plenty of musician friends ready to sing at their wedding. We joined them to provide live music across the day and accompany the guest performers, from St Mary’s in North Sydney to the reception at Deckhouse Woolwich.

Lauren and John, thank you for having us play alongside your friends and share in the surprises.

“Our day would not have been the same without you. It was brilliant! Everyone has been raving about you guys! Honestly. You even contributed to so many surprises that we’ll never forget. I got to bloody sing Whitney with Duke! WOW. You could feel the love in the room even when some of our most loved ones were unable to be there…Ahhhh WILD. What a time!”
